Waterstones Truro, Truro, 23 April 2026
Liz Fenwick, Linda Wilgus and Susanna Kearsley will be joining us to chat about their newly published novels evoking the Cornwall they all love to write about.
Liz celebrates the magic of Helston's Flora Day in both the title and the content of her most recent novel just in advance of the day itself. It joins Liz's catalogue of novels set in the county that exemplify her love of Cornwall.
Linda's novel, The sea Child, is a love story set on the Cornish shore. Both magical and historical it is very different to Liz's tale but equally enchanting.
Making up the trio is Susanna Kearsley with her rereleased novel, The Rose Garden. A gem in historical fiction set in Cornwall, an author described here by Diana Gabaldon
'I've loved every one of Susanna's books! She has bedrock research and a butterfly's delicate touch with characters - historical fiction that pulls you in and won't let go!'
We are delighted to welcome these three very experienced authors to join us to find out exactly what it is that inspires them to write with such fondness about the county that they are connected to.
Tea Leaves & Reads, Andover, 26 April 2026
Writing from ‘Away’ – An Evening with Susanna Kearsley & Linda Wilgus
The Tea Leaves & Reads Bookshop is thrilled to be hosting an evening of literature featuring two Historical Fiction Authors. Bestselling Author Susanna Kearsley, will be joining us from Canada and is celebrating the re-release of one of her earlier publications, The Rose Garden and she will be taking to the stage with debut author, Linda Wilgus, whose first novel The Sea Child has already captivated early readers.
Please see below for more details about the event. If you’re in the area, we’d love for you to join us! Tickets available here.
The event will be held at the Fairground Village Hall opposite the Tea Leaves & Reads Bookshop with doors opening at 6:00pm, giving attendees time to secure a good seat and visit the T’s & C’s coffee van right outside for refreshments or treats. The Bookshop will also be open for browsing beforehand too.
The main event begins at 7:00pm, when Linda and Susanna will discuss their latest works, writing, and their unique perspectives on Cornwall as well as writing from the perspectives of ‘outsiders.’
Both authors bring a wealth of experience and a global perspective to their work. Linda, born in the Netherlands, and Susanna, a Canadian who has lived in South Korea, the US, and Wales, have both called multiple countries home. This gives them what Susanna refers to as the ‘outsider’s eye’ - the ability to write passionately and insightfully about places they do not live in, which brings both gifts and challenges to their storytelling.
The evening promises an engaging conversation not only about writing and Cornwall, but also about the evolving landscapes of publishing and bookselling. Susanna has been publishing for over three decades, beginning with her Transworld Catherine Cookson Fiction Prize win in 1993, while Linda is launching her career with her debut novel this year. Their discussion will explore the differences, opportunities, and challenges faced by authors at different stages of their careers.
Join us for an in-person night with local author, Linda Wilgus.
